Case in point- Dumbledore is gay.
Not in the books, not remotely.

The subplot makes much more sense if Dumbledore is gay and
Grindelwald is more than just a brilliant colleague, it's
more interesting too.

Gretchen adds:
I am not the biggest HP scholar so someone will probably grill
me on things I miss in the series, but I think it is odd that
most of the Hogwarts professors seem to be single, or not
involved with anyone that I can recall. Now, I may have missed
minor mentions, but no main character save Lupin, who develops
his relationship with Tonks after he leaves Hogwwarts, seems to
have a love life.

I have also wondered if Lily was really all that great that
Snape never found another love in his life. That is nice
romantic fiction, but not very realistic. Again, not every
character needs such detailed description in HP - the books
are detailed enough- but the repeated omission seems out of
place.
